Term Life
Term Life Insurance Strengthen Your Family’s Financial Plan Life insurance is an essential piece of a robust financial plan. While there is no replacement for losing a loved one, Term Life Insurance can help protect your family in your absence. It supplies short-term coverage at a competitive price. Term Life Insurance can help fill temporary needs for those on a limited budget. Life insurance provided by your employer is a significant benefit. However, it may not be enough protection to provide for your loved ones. A term life policy can help supplement your existing coverage. Plus, you own this policy, meaning you can take it to a different job or retirement. Why You Need Life Insurance Consider the following expenses when choosing the right life insurance plan for you. Financial Protection for You During your working and earning years, when expenses are typically at their highest, Term Life Insurance is a great option. Premiums will remain the same for the initial term period selected. 2 The death benefit will not change for the policy’s life, and death benefits are generally paid tax-free.

This interim coverage for death will remain in force until the earlier of 1) the date a policy becomes effective, 2) the date we decline the application, or 3) the date we notify the proposed insured that they are ineligible for interim coverage.

If the death of the proposed insured occurs during the interim coverage period, the first month’s premium will be subtracted from the policy proceeds. Interim coverage is only for death benefits under the base policy, Children’s Term Rider and Spouse Term Rider. No interim coverage benefits are available under any Waiver of Premium Rider, Accidental Death and Dismemberment Rider, or Accelerated Benefit Rider for Long Term Illness. 6Example is based on a 20-year term, monthly, non-tobacco, base policy with no attached riders.
